Towards abstraction of the figure

March 19, 2014 in Painting in the making, abstract figurative

I have embarked on a long journey: abstracting the figure. I love the human forms and the poses give me ground to dig into my soul. I am painting with scratches and scribbles which represent the scars we all carry on our bodies as well as the emotional scars in our hearts. The figures are surreal: they are my feelings, my thoughts. The painting below is part of this journey.
